I'm thinkin' they'll go to a real airline that flys real mainline aircraft, for real mainline rates. These airlines have real employment protection, real health insurance, real captains authority, and are really treated like the professionals we are.
I'm swimming in a pool and as soon as I get tossed the life ring, I'll be out of this dive. Some poor soul can take my place, they just better prepare themselves for dissapointment, or look it as a "major-regional" job that is great until you can land a gig at a REAL major airline.
Unless you're a top seniority BUS CA this place is simply a stepping stone and it's a stepping stone with no protection from any UNION. Hold all the value committee elections you want, I'll take a CBA any day.
Please vote next time around.
